Hi! The life hack which helps me much is not to be free with all. To make a strong personality one shouldn’t mix too closely with others. In my early age I was too much free with others.
I thought every classmate as my friend. So I tried to talk and sit with all one by one. But some of my classmates didn’t take me as a friend at all. I didn’t recognise that because I was very extrovert and shared my day-to-day life incidents with them. After a long time I noticed some of them were not helpful to me. But I was too dedicated to help them. It hearts me. Then I tried to ignore those who ignored me.
Even they never called me for playing with them because I was not a good player. One day somehow I got ten cricket balls from one of my cousin as a gift. I shared this with my classmates who never called me to play with them. Then they daily came to my house to meet with me and took a ball. This is how they took all of my ten balls one by one with their selfish sweet behaviour. After that I realized not to take everyone as a good friend. It gave a good lesson. So now when I meet with a new person I never talk too much. It helps me to keep my personality well.
In my workplace I also maintain this. I don’t talk with my colleagues without any official reason. They help me when I need them. But in the early time of my job I was too much free with my office colleagues. That's why they ignored me when I told them to help me for office work.
So I think the important life hack for me is not to be too extrovert or introvert. I should contact with others in a well manner and smartly talk with new persons. Following this, no one can use me for them. Also can't ignore me when I need their help.
